The AFD recognises the suggested species (2013):-
https://biodiversity.org.au/afd/taxa/Wingia_eonephella
ALA shows a matching species
https://bie.ala.org.au/species/https://biodiversity.org.au/afd/taxa/42b33df2-7387-4b08-b5b9-839b6e194cb4
BOLD (Hobern) shows this species by its prior name ie. Palparia eonephella, (see AFD)
https://bold-au.hobern.net/specimens.php?taxid=407226
So does iNaturalist:-

Note: the images for W. eonophella on LBH do not seem to match this sighting
